PERSONAL SAFETY

GENERAL OPERATING SAFETY PROCEDURES

• Make sure that the power is switched off before mounting or dismounting from

the chair.

• For your health and comfort, make sure that you adopt a comfortable posture

and that you can operate the controller unit with ease.

• Make sure you are visible when using the chair at night or in poorly lit

conditions.

• Ensure that all modifications made the powerchair are approved by Medicare

Technology. Unauthorised modifications may reduce the performance of the

powerchair, invalidate warranty, or result in injury or damage.

EMERGENCY BRAKING

• To apply emergency braking whilst using the power chair release the grip on

the control joystick.

• You can also apply emergency braking by turning off the powerchair. However,

this is an abrupt braking method and should only be used as a last resort.

• There is a brake at each side of the wheel. These brakes should only be used

when the powerchair is stationary and when in freewheel mode.

TURNING AND USING ON A GRADIENT GUIDELINES

• Avoid sharp turns at high speed as this could result in the powerchair tipping

over. This is especially relevant when turning on a gradient.

• The powerchair has been designed for use on gradients up to 1 in 4 (25%).

However, other factors such as the surface of the gradient or the attributes of

the user can vary this figure. If you are in any a doubt about travelling up or

down a gradient please find an alternative route.

EMERGENCY FREEWHEEL

• Warning:

The powerchair has a freewheel option device fitted on the top of each motor.

Always re-engage the emergency freewheel device after use. Failure to do so

may result in injury.
